The movie stars Jay Baruchel (Hiccup), America Ferrera (Astrid), Gerard Butler (Stoick) and Djimon Hounsou (Drago) among many.
The movie has also proved its box office prowess by being 2014's highest grossing animation.
After it debuted in China with a whopping $5.6M, the sequel now can boast of crossing the half a billion mark in worldwide ticket sales. The film has already surpassed other 2014 animation releases like "Rio 2" ($496M) and "The LEGO Movie" ($468M).
The movie has also been confirmed to return for a third time. "How to Train Your Dragon 3" has been slated for a 2017 release date. Although it is not sure whether fans could expect the return of some notable characters in the first two movies, Hiccup and Toothless will surely make a comeback to wow the audience for the last time.

"How To Train Your Dragon 2" full movie has received mixed reviews from critics and fans alike. While most find the sequel good, it hasn't quite met the expectations thrown by Dreamworks.
Forbes contributor Scott Mendelson had this to say about the box office results, and why there was a certain expectation for the movie:
"Truth be told, I expected a bigger bump and a larger overall weekend. Despicable Me 2 jumped 48% from the original and Monsters University (admittedly with 12 years of inflation and 3D) jumped 31%. The question was just how much higher the sequel to the beloved original was supposed to climb compared to its predecessor. It's also below the $60m+ openings for Madagascar 2, Madagascar 3, and Kung Fu Panda, along with the $59m debut of Monsters Versus Aliens back in 2009. And its 2.7x weekend multiplier is well below the 3-3.5x DreamWorks Animation norm."
